Jushiro is a daydreamer
that was once part of the samurai squad of the Bafuku government. Thus,
being an outstanding warrior, he was assigned to train with the great samurai
master, Kuki. Kuki took Jushiro in like if he were his own son, and Jushiro
soon became acquainted with his fellow trainees: Seishiro
and Tohma, both sons of Kuki. However,
both of them liked to keep to themselves, and ignore everything else. So,
Jushiro made friends with the veteran samurai, Jin-Emon, and both became
best comrades. It was one woman, although, that changed Jushiro's world.
Her name was Karen, one of the few female samurais working for the Bafuku.

Jushiro loved her lively spirit and charming manners, but Karen was a loyal
follower of the Way of the Samurai, and decided to put her duties before
personal feelings. One day, word came out that the princess was threatened
by death by some fellow only known as Oboro.
Baring a striking resemblance to the princess, Karen was chosen as the
decoy to lure Oboro in. Jushiro opposed, but Karen kept up anyway. An entire
unit was assigned to protect the fake "princess". As previewed, Oboro attacked.
However, it wasn't previewed that Oboro would be so powerful, and in no
time, he eliminated all the samurai, and mortally wounded the princess.
Having heard this, Jushiro ran to Karen's side, but it was too late: she
was far beyond hope.

Disgusted and torn apart, Jushiro quits the samurai
legion. Having been encountered alone in the butchering site, Jushiro was
aimed as the main suspect, and sent to Riten Kyo. There, he joins with
female warriors
Saya and Rinka
to form the Atom Rebels, an anti-Bafuku group. This enraged his former
superiors even more, and becomes the main target of extermination. However,
for some odd reason, Jushiro tends to worry more about her female friends,
than the fact that he has been targeted. Can Jushiro survive the Bafuku
assault?

At first glance,
Jushiro seems like a pretty cool dude... hey, he's a friggin samurai after all.
As far as looks go, his traditional samurai attire is simple and to the point
(what a good samurai design should be, I think). His core katana-based fighting
style is pretty cool for the most part, and he does have one unique attribute
that sets him apart from some other samurai characters... From his sheathed
stance, Jushiro can utilize a hidden gun and attack from long range! (A samurai
using a gun?!? Blasphemy!)

Besides the use of that dishonorable gun... Jushiro didn't bring a whole
lot of "new" to the series, but he was a fairly cool design in the single
game he appeared in.
